Description Title should read: 'Cliff Cataplexy: its lonely fire calling forth lonelier hearts'

In preparation for this map:

I studied pictures of cliffs, I made a cliff out of lego and put it just inside my peripheral vision, I watched a Clifty dda, I got inside the mind of a cliff and had a drink with it, I put some Cliff Richard xmas songs on in the background, and I solicited a cliff with a devious deal then threatened it so it would keep its goddamn cave shut!

"Cliff Cataplexy: its lonely fire calling forth lonelier hearts" is an amazing map with an amazing name. Better than any other map out there, it conjures the romance and wild intensity of the cliff, rising above a fiery wasteland of broken tile and raging gold. So whether you descend slowly and stealthily, or make a wild leap into the void, praying to clutch shard of salvation hovering so far below, or any of the myriad other approaches, you can be sure of one thing: It won't be dull ride. — gloomp

Amazazing review with an amazazing map. Excellent choice, gloomp.

Demo Data

Lovely design

Very fun.
Demo Data

Struggle demo.

Demo Data

all gold haha so wicked. 4.5^

Quite fun

Maybe a bit on the boring side, but I love the atmosphere, and how you had a choice to either jump of the cliff, or go slowly down.

Also faved. ^^

Bird wings

go up *and* down.

the birDS

are upside down/s

Yes!

Yes you do.

AGD

Could probably have been faster if I hadn't jumped off the corner at the end.

...Which reminds me... I still need to get sub-1000 on Broke Black Mesa.

Cliff edit was also nice too.

Demo Data

So you were

going for a cliff type feel.

First try

I like the fire, mines and exit switch placement, but the tileset wasn't really attractive imo. And those two bird-things feel a little too big compared with the rest of the map. (are it birds?)
Gameplay's cool though.
Demo Data

nice

cn u check my new tilset. still getting a demo

Yeh.

This map is 4skyline.
